Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 SIMATHE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA. Further proof that Hanuman had been correct in identifying Mandodhari as one who pacified Ravana on the night he arrived at Ashoka vana. In sarga 10 of sundara khandam, Hanuman sees Mandodhari in sleep and mistakes her for Sita. This is said so by Valmiki. So he could have certainly identified her in the coterie of Ravana when he visited Ashoka vana. In all probability, she must have been the only woman whom he could have identified by name going by her stature - by the way he had seen her in Ravana’s palace (as the empress) and now in ashoka vana and by the way she was dressed up. Therefore AdiyaL finds it difficult to find fault with Hanuman, whose intellect, prowess of sorts, tact etc which have been praised by Rama, Sita and Valmiki himself , as having ‘mis-calculated’.
